For your information, Vates as hired a new team member recently dedicated to Windows driver, so we should have new XCP-tools for server 2022 and W11 in the coming months

@andreas Hi Andreas,

After testing it on my side i can confirm i reproduce the issue.
I will discuss it at dev level and get back to you.

@vbits said in Delta backup fails on SMB remote:

NexentaStor SC216

Yes that was the question If you have better speed with SMB stay with it NFS should be better in theory but sometime you have to go with real world reality.

Just to give context, VDI attach to the domain are backup related. During backup process the VDI need to be downloaded by XOA so it is attached to dom0 and downloaded from there. Normally this VDI should be detached after the backup is finished but if you have backup error the VDI could stay stuck attached to dom0.

So in your case if you have backup Running be careful with this VDI but if they are old VDI you can safely remove them.

Yes, you can do that on your user settings.

Click the user button, down left on the toolbar, and in the settings set your default filter to none:

@xentester123

I suppose you mean nothing is happening when you click the RDP button?
If that's the case that's because you need to associate the MIME type with the RDP application you are using.

for windows you can create a .reg file with this content to register with windows MSTSC

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rdp]
@="URL:Remote Desktop Protocol <URL:Remote%20Desktop%20Protocol> "
"EditFlags"=dword:00000002
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rdp\shell]
 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rdp\shell\open]
 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rdp\shell\open\command]
@="cmd /V:ON  /c setlocal && set url=%1 && set url=!url:rdp://=! && set url=!url:/=! && start mstsc.exe /v:!url!"

@aknisly Hi Aknisly,
Every contribution to the documentation is really welcomed.
You can find an edit button at the bottom of each documentation page.

In your case I think you should try to put it in this page https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backups.html#interface
Don't hesitate to push a pull request we will review it and help you if needed

@pierre-briec I'm happy it's solved, and happy i was right

Have you tried restarting the toolstack for the host could clear a bad VM state?

@vincentp Hi,

Best way to kill backup is to restart the xo-server but it will kill all running task

Systemctl restart xo-server

@Darkbeldin I reproduce in XOA latest so I think you can escalate

@pctechs Hi,
This is one of our next feature, no timeframe at the moment but it's coming soon.

It's seems I'm able to reproduce the issue with OVA i'm unable to export without an error.

@olivierlambert Trying it now I keep you updated

@jcdick1 If you have 2 Factor authentication enabled on your Google account you can generate a specific password for your SMTP server that's how i setup my SMTP and i really think this will continu working.

@northportio Please could you try this and report back:

create this file /etc/xo-server/config.httpInactivityTimeout.toml:

# XOA Support - Work-around HTTP timeout issue during backups
[xapiOptions]
httpInactivityTimeout = 1800000 # 30 mins

And rerun the backup job.

@andrewreid XO team has released a new version 5.66.2 for XOA and new sources for the XO community that should fix most of the recent backup issue, so please update to latest and report back if needed.

To install W11 you need to remove the TPM check from the ISO this can easily be done with this tool

@mrchip said in Backup NG:

Backup NG

Hi,

Backup NG as been removed since 2019 so probably just old video, i should recommend you go to tom channel if your not already here he has a lot of XCP-ng Tuto and news here.

@planedrop No, as you have a 14 day retention we will always keep a 14 days backup, in fact the 7 day full backup interval is not really link to the backup job you could have a delta of 14 days, the 7 day full backup is here to protect from delta chain corruption.

So what will happen is that XO will always keep the full that started the delta chain, and it will merge the older delta (day 13) with the main full so the delta chain will keep 14 days retention, the full backup interval is not taken into account in this as it is not part of the delta chain.
